Two polar bears mauled a radar technician in a rare attack in Nunavut , Canada .

The attack on Brevoort Island was “unusual” given the location and the fact that two bears were involved.

Despite an estimated 17,000 polar bears in Canada , fatal encounters are rare.

Climate change is pushing bears to land farther north than usual, experts say.

“This population of bears isn’t expected to persist past mid-century . So fewer and fewer bears means the problems in places like Rankin Inlet are limited.”.
